Island Expeditions Rewards Increasing In a Future Hotfix

Blizzard has just posted a thread in the official forums informing that the rewards for island expeditions will be increased substantially in a future hotfix. Edit: this is now live.\r\rBelow you can check the full blue post.\r\r\rThank you all for your feedback on Island Expeditions. We\u2019ve been monitoring the rate of rewards from Islands so far, and while we believe we hit the mark with the Azerite rewards, we\u2019re not happy with the drop rates for the various bonus rewards (such as transmog items, pets, quest starters, etc.)\r\rWe\u2019re currently working on a hotfix that will substantially increase the rate of these rewards. Once it\u2019s live, you should start to see more of these items dropping for you (and your group members) on future Island Expeditions. While we don\u2019t have a firm timeframe for this hotfix, we\u2019re hoping to push it out later today.\r\rAgain, thank you for your constructive feedback, and we look forward to seeing you on more Island Expeditions!\r\r\rWe have compiled a post on all the Island Rewards, including mounts, pets, toys and transmog.\r\r\rDid you enjoy this news article?

I guess they finally got the memo that no one was doing expeditions anymore, even for the free AP.

Wow...I can't believe it took an entire month, but it finally came through!

Ive done at least 50, and not one dropped anything special besides the coins.

Finally they listen to the playerbase! At least one thing, but at least something.

They said they'd increased the droprates before. I'll take this with a bucket load of salt until it's proven to be an actual increase.

Considering we're exploring uncharted islands, with various enemies from all over Azeroth, you'd think we'd have a chance to loot war resources or raw crafting material upon completion!

So let's make this clear. The problem is not in rewards. The problem is that this feature was basically advertised as Diablo rifts. Random maps, random NPCs and random boss in the end with loot. None of this is in it. It's 3 generated maps for a week with the same NPCs and no BIG bad guy in the end. Only azerite farming. It's boring, and they promised us an entertainment.

This just might make me do more than the 5 weekly.

They've already claimed this, I remain unconvinced it will be a meaningful change since the last one was so small no one noticed or cared. Islands are garbage content that are simply mindless grindfests.

After like 22 mythic expeditions. I have only gotten 3 pets one I traded to a guildie cause she really wanted it. I am happy to see the rewards are getting increased drop chances! Fingers crossed on the mounts!

Awesome, I've done around 45 of these so far (4 were normal, 10-15 mythic, rest heroic) and I didn't get a single reward for them yet (not counting AP, dubloons or 250 rep boost). Looking forward to this change as Plundered Waterbearer's Staff is my most wanted item in BfA and also, I'm quite big mount\/pet collector

As someone who has done a TON of expeditions (and actually enjoys them!) but hasn't dropped a single pet, mount, tmog, or quest item, I'm stoked to hear this news. Thanks for listening, Blizzard!

I\u2019ll definitely do more if I have an actual chance of a reward. It\u2019s just another type of grind, but it felt more useless than other grinds because the rewards were so few and far between.

Yeah, from 0,01% drop to 0,02% Ty.

Would be nice if they awarded War Resources, but, still happy to see the fix. It\u2019s worrisome when an expansion is only 1 month out and players are already bored with the content.

While I like expeditions as content, lack of reward except for azerite and dubloons was disheartening. Good to hear they plan to increase drop rate.

well blizzard has different definitions of words than the community, those not doing it now, will still not do it. Now if azerite also went up. Maybe more interest to an already boring weekly.
